Strange Tales #47
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When Mankind Vanished!", an explorer’s club rejects a curious applicant for lack of traditional hunting credentials—only for the man to reveal a startling truth: he’s not from Earth at all. Penciled and inked by Vic Carrabotta, this 1956 tale from Strange Tales #47 delivers a quietly unsettling twist on adventure tropes, with Sol Brodsky’s cover capturing the mystery in bold, early Marvel style.
In "The New Member!", a skeptical explorer's club rejects an applicant for lacking the traditional credentials—no elephant or lion hunts to his name—only for the man to reveal a far more extraordinary origin. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this brief sci-fi tale turns a routine rejection into a startling revelation.
